And in case you had any doubts, Sandler will star alongside Kevin James and Happy Madison first-timer Josh Gad, because at this point, they’re just pointing and laughing at all of us.

James plays the U.S. president, who calls on his childhood best friend (Sandler), an ’80s video-game champ turned home theater installer, to lead a team of fellow 8-bit aces and save the planet.

Of course he’s an 80s something-something. God forbid we get an Adam Sandler movie that isn’t filled with tired and worn out 80s stereotypes and clichés, because whichever jokes he didn’t make in the beloved Wedding Singer, he certainly beat to death for two grueling hours in the putrid fart cloud that he called That’s My Boy. I, for one, can’t wait to see how many different songs he uses from “Pac-Man Fever.” Hell, “Do the Donkey Kong” will probably sound amazing covered by Smash Mouth, featuring Rob Schneider and introducing the Nick Swardson Fart Box Five.
